Gigi Dolin (Priscilla Kelly) Opens Up About WWE Release in Emotional Video

Former WWE Superstar Gigi Dolin, known to fans as Priscilla Kelly, has broken her silence following her release from the company on May 2nd, 2025. In a deeply personal and revealing social media video released on June 1st, Dolin shared her struggles leading up to her departure and the emotional toll it took.

The video, which included footage of Dolin burning WWE-related items and a recreation of the phone call informing her of her release, highlighted her feelings of loss. Dolin confessed to feeling like she "had lost everything" and that she "became a shell of the girl I knew." She admitted to questioning her passion for wrestling and feeling broken by the experience.

Dolin attributed a significant turning point to a serious injury, a torn and flipped meniscus, which forced her into recovery. This period, however, seemingly sparked a renewed sense of purpose. She stated her intention to "show everyone what the hell I'm capable of" and "break every assumption, every doubt."

At the time of her release, Dolin was part of an NXT faction alongside Shotzi and Tatum Paxley. Dolin's departure was part of a larger round of releases within WWE. She has already announced independent wrestling dates, indicating her eagerness to continue her career on her own terms. Her reflection on the release concluded with the stark admission that it "had felt like I had experienced a death. Maybe I did."
